POWELL, Mike
Information management for development organisations
2nd ed.
(Oxfam Development Guidelines.)
Oxford : Oxfam, 2003, 294 p.
ISBN: 0 85598 483 X
The book is about managing information in the workplace rather than in a
resource centre or library. It is aimed at managers of community groups and non-
governmental organisations in developing countries and elsewhere. It aims to
help them to think critically about what kinds of information they, their staff,
and their project partners need. It discusses how they can access such
information, manage it, and communicate it in the most effective and equitable
way. It includes some practical tools and exercises to help readers to relate the
ideas to their own situations. In this second edition, discussions of knowledge
management, capacity building, institutional learning, evaluation and impact
assessment, research, information products, and evidence-based work have been
added, or considerably extended, together with a number of new case studies.
